Hi, I'm Ayshah and

this is Newsround.

0:00:110:00:14

First up, a BBC investigation has

shown there are problems

0:00:140:00:16

with the way YouTube deals

with upsetting comments

0:00:160:00:18

aimed at children.

0:00:180:00:22

The people who monitor and report

these comments say they're worried

0:00:220:00:25

that they are not being removed,

even after they have been reported.

0:00:250:00:30

YouTube say they remove most of thes

upsetting comments within 24 hours,

0:00:300:00:33

but children's charity the NSPCC say

they want more to do be

0:00:330:00:38

done by the Government.

0:00:380:00:43

And the company.

0:00:430:00:45

And don't forget for help and advice

on this you can head to the website

0:00:450:00:49

and check out our staying

safe online guide.

0:00:490:00:50

It's Black Friday today!

0:00:500:00:52

So what's that?

0:00:520:00:53

It's when adults spends loads

of money on big sales.

0:00:530:00:55

It's something that started

in America and then came here.

0:00:550:00:59

People in the UK are expected

to spend over £1 billion - let's

0:00:590:01:02

hope there's some Christmas

pressies in there!

0:01:020:01:06

Now, if you've ever watched

Star Wars you might be familiar

0:01:060:01:08

with warp speed technology,

which allows people to travel

0:01:080:01:10

through space at super-fast speeds.

0:01:100:01:14

-- if you've ever watched Star Trek.

0:01:140:01:16

In this week's Big Question Oliver

asked how far away are we from

0:01:160:01:19

making this technology in real life?

0:01:190:01:21

So who better to answer it

than a Nasa jet propulsion expert?!

0:01:210:01:24

Well, right now it's impossible

for us to move at warp

0:01:380:01:40

speed through space.

0:01:400:01:42

We've thought about ways

of trying to do that,

0:01:420:01:45

but there is nothing

that is practical at this point.

0:01:450:01:48

For example, right now our fastest

spaceships can travel

0:01:480:01:51

at about 25,000 miles an hour.

0:01:510:01:54

With the speed of light,

we can travel at about

0:01:540:01:57

186,000 miles a second.

0:01:570:01:59

If we could travel at that speed,

that would take us a second

0:01:590:02:02

and a quarter to get to the moon.

0:02:020:02:05

Right now, with our fastest ships,

we can take about three

0:02:050:02:07

days to get to the moon.

0:02:070:02:10

So, well, really, really slow

in comparison to the speed of light.

0:02:100:02:14

Now, we've also computed how much

energy it takes for a spaceship

0:02:140:02:17

to go at about a tenth of the speed

of light, and that is about between

0:02:170:02:22

five and 100 times the total

world energy output.

0:02:220:02:29

So, wow, all that energy,

so much, and we just don't

0:02:290:02:32

have that on the earth.

0:02:320:02:35

So we're going to have to find some

new fantastic way of creating that

0:02:350:02:38

energy before we can even think

about going near the speed of light,

0:02:380:02:41

let alone going at warp speed.

0:02:410:02:46

Mooli... We will be answering one of

your big questions every Thursday,

0:02:560:03:00

so if you have something to as, go

online now.

0:03:000:03:03

Next meet the world's best teacher!

0:03:030:03:05

Maggie MacDonnell from Canada

won this year's famous

0:03:050:03:07

Global Teacher Prize.

0:03:070:03:08

She teaches at a school

in the Arctic Circle,

0:03:080:03:10

where the children walk for miles

through snow and freezing

0:03:100:03:12

temperatures just to get to class.

0:03:120:03:15

Everyday when my students come

to school and they come

0:03:170:03:20

in my classroom, I thank them

for getting there that day.

0:03:200:03:23

Because I know they've run

a marathon sometimes,

0:03:230:03:25

they've run over all sorts

of obstacles just to get

0:03:250:03:28

to the classroom door.

0:03:280:03:30

My name is Maggie MacDonnell

and I teach in the Arctic.

0:03:300:03:36

As a teacher in the Arctic,

the definition of a teacher

0:03:370:03:40

there is very, very broad.

0:03:400:03:43

We are not only instructing

lessons in the classroom,

0:03:430:03:46

but you really have to engage

with your students

0:03:460:03:49

outside of the classroom.

0:03:490:03:52

You have to make the class

and school welcoming to them.

0:03:520:03:55

They have to see

you in the community.

0:03:550:03:57

Often you take on roles such

as a social worker or a counsellor

0:03:570:04:00

or maybe even a family friend.

0:04:000:04:05

I think that if a student

from the UK or India

0:04:050:04:09

were to drop into my classroom,

the one thing that they may be

0:04:090:04:12

surprised about is that not every

classroom has four walls.

0:04:120:04:16

And as much as possible

I try to take my students outside

0:04:160:04:20

of the traditional school

and into the community where we can

0:04:200:04:24

do project-based learning,

authentic learning, and I think

0:04:240:04:27

that's what's really powerful

about the style of teaching that

0:04:270:04:30

I've been working on.

0:04:300:04:33

As much as possible I love

integrating my students

0:04:330:04:35

into the community, creating

opportunities for them to offer

0:04:350:04:40

community service and basically

create opportunities for my students

0:04:400:04:42

to see themselves not

as problems but as agents

0:04:420:04:44

of change in their community.

0:04:440:04:53

That's all from me, we'll be

back in half an hour.

0:04:530:04:56

Bye.
